Massachusetts Paul delegates voted for McCain??

[RP4EVER]

The RNC has shown time and time again, that they do not believe in the rules. A delegate on dailypaul gave his vote over to McCain, again a goodwill gesture, and will be meeting the leadership to discuss more involvement for the liberty group and thinks this is just fine. By doing this and by saying that it is o.k. for the sake of goodwill to turn over your right as a delegate to present your vote as you represented you would, makes you little better than the inner circle, imo. I suggested he ask at this meeting what that group of RNC leadership was going to do to remedy the harm done to Dr. Paul and to individual liberties by their marginalization. He says that the RNC is fearful and they know they need us...so why wouldn't they allow even a couple of votes for Dr. Paul as a show of fairness?

A Goodwill gesture??????????????????????? They dont want goodwill. They wont hold up to any agreement they supposedly made.....they got what they wanted and everyone who voted for McCain that openly supported Ron Paul will get the boot at the first possible moment.

From what it sounds like,
The MA Delegation did what they had to to get ahead, plus MA has some serious laws about voting against your pledged candidate on the voice vote. No one "wimped" out or did anything like that. Good luck to the MA RP delegates and I hope everything goes according to plan.

Buy a clue, member of 1 post, Mr. MA delegate.

Traitor is as traitor does.

"Ahead" of what? what did these delegates gain? They get smiles and nods from mccain supporters and avid "republican no matter what" voters. What happens the next time around?

It is the same mentality of assuming that an undercover cop can get in real good with the hells angels (I have more respect for them then the pos gop) and sure they can be buddy buddy and get things done BUT once they realize the undercover cops true intentions they kill his ass.

What "ground" did these delegates gain by playing the safe card now? What can that actually earn them later if they decide to finally grow balls and fly the ron paul flag later on? We got zero respect from any of our local gop's as well as state and nationally so what good is voting like the rest of the sheep going to do for us once the next election cycle comes around?

I can understand if they are trying to get into their local republican parties BUT does it really need to be done under false pretenses? If it does then odds are it is the wrong strategy.

Just go into it and do it like we all are doing across the states. One person doesn't have the right to tell you to NOT vote for this or that just for the parties sake and to think like that is naive. It isn't the party that we are voting for and I am surprised that so many delegates don't see it.

Your account of the delegate only conference call you crashed is not at all accurate. A question was posed by a delegate who was bound to vote for McCain. He said his conscience wouldn't allow him to cast a vote for McCain. Drew advised him to have an alternate stand in so that he wouldn't have to.

That's a far cry from your claim that Drew Ivers told Ron Paul Delegates to vote for McCain. As far as my comments, I said I understood and if I were in his shoes I couldn't cast a vote for McCain, either, and since Dr. Paul has steadfastly refused to endorse McCain, he'd probably feel the same way.

I love that "or else" bullshit LOL

Yes this prick was standing over our delegates with a knife saying do it or die!

You are a delegate for THE PUBLIC, and it wasn't just YOUR vote delegates. Who can FORCE you to vote one way or another and if that was even the case then guess what would make an AMAZING news story.

Thank you, Debbie.

I think they've been doing it this way for so long, it would not even cause the slightest peep.

Not news...not at all...

<sigh>

Cool. It looks like I get to save a bunch of money over the next few years by not contributing to this kind of organization.

Thanks for a good ride, Ron, it was fun.

Obama '08

I don't get it. How do you go from supporting ron paul to supporting a commie???

 

[MsDoodahs]

Good question.

There are others here who have decided to support Obama, too.

I don't get it, but it's their choice.

 

[RP4EVER]

I dont get why you people arent upset that the people YOU donated money to; a cause you donated money to took the money as appointed Ron Paul delegates and sold out.....like i said in my hot topics post; part of me thinks that no one has really accepted that they sold out to the machine for a smile.

Mr Cunningham who I had high hopes would win doesnt deserve the support of the RP grassroots......kinda hard to hope he wont sell out in congress where he could be offered rewards of a higher nature for doing so.
